Individual Differences Between Self-Reports of Imagery and Spatial Ability Abstract Dean & Morris (2003) found that systematically manipulating the item type and ratings used on self-report measures of imagery it is possible to access introspections that predict spatial performance. The question to emerge from the initial study was what aspect of the manipulation caused the predictive value of the new questionnaire over the VVIQ. To investigate, performance on five spatial tests was compared to introspective ratings on the VVIQ (Marks, 1973) and an extended version of the Dean & Morris (2003) imagery questionnaire. It was found that changing the item type and source of the item lead to introspective ratings that predict spatial ability. Ratings of shapes that are more similar to those used in spatial tests can predict performance compared with ratings of real world objects recalled from long term memory that cannot. The effect of item type leads to the...
